The Evolution of Charmin Toilet Paper

History Of Toilet Paper

We have all seen the ad for Charmin with those adorable, funny bears, but why do they use bears to advertise toilet paper? What do they have in common with toilet paper?

Even more strange, or gross, is that toilet paper has only been used since the mid 1800s. Before the invention of toilet paper, people used whatever they could get their hands on, and that was often just as unpleasant as not wiping at all. The history of toilet paper and the history of the Charmin brand is an incredibly interesting story that will make you look at toilet paper in a whole new light.
